Hey everyone
Well the group is slowly growing in size. I have been trialling using the paint programme with my NE class however the children are having a few problems using the programme independently. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions of what I could do to get this up and running in my room or maybe someone knows of an easier programme we could try.

Basic PAINT is great so long as you show them the brushes!!!! and not have them use the pencil - who ever uses a pencil to paint with anyway!
I have a few basic but effective rules -
Thanks Barbara, after reading your post I realised I probably gave up too soon, I didn't think about talking them through a few basic rules. I will start again tomorrow and try to have a bit more patience.
Great ideas Barbara, definitely the paint brush and not the pencil.
Children often find it easier to create marks on paper, so creating drawings on the computer can be a little trickier. Sand-pit time to play and get to the know the programme is really important. Here is another idea for creating images in Paint.
